My friend and I spent one night at the Orense before departing Spain. Our room was comfortable and clean and the staff spoke good English and were helpful. There was no Internet connection at the hotel and I was given directions to the nearest Internet Cafe. A hotel of this size should have Internet available in this day and age!... more

No internet at all! Even though it was so advertised. No ice, nor iron in room (like everywhere in Spain, I guess) The neighborhood was a business district, just a 5 minute walk to the metro. Lots of police at night...lots of street walking-singing and noise at night too. All the cafes nearby were cheap for Tapas and not a... more

Horrible Location. The rooms were smelly, the bathroom was smelly. Requested room changes 3 TIMES that night and found that they were all the same. The staffs were unhelpful and not courteous. During the night, we could here the loud music coming from the club across the street. IT WAS JUST HORRIBLE. My parents couldn't wait to leave. more

I stayed at this hotel for three nights in Feb-07 and found it to be excellent. The location is not central but nonetheless is very convenient. Coming in from the airport, take the Metro to Nuevos Ministerios and then it is just one metro stop from there to the Santiago Bernabeu stop. The hotel is a three minute walk from... more

Let's be honest. Spain's not famed for high levels of service in hotels. The Orense doesn't have particularly good levels of service either, but for Spain it's quite acceptable. I stay here regularly as it happens to be very near an office I visit each month. The rooms are exceptionally nice, large, clean and modern. The hotel is on a... more

As other correspondents have stated the Orense is situated in a 'business area' on Teixero de Pedro approximately 10 minutes walk from both the Santiago Bernabeu stadium and Metro station. For us football diehards an ideal location for a base when watching Real Madrid play. The hotel is well set out and the reception staff most polite, friendly and helpful.... more

The Hotel Orense is not especially well placed for a tourist, being in the business district near the Madrid football stadium. However it is a very pleasant hotel with very tasteful new furnishings, a spacious room and a beautiful rose marble bathroom. Other posters have complained about noise, but with the windows closed we heard nothing from the outside world. more

We stayed two nights at the Orense in September 2004. I really liked our room. The floor was a beautiful marble tile with an area rug under the bed. This room had 2 windows - We did not especially get a view, but the room was a good size and arranged quite nicely. The bathroom was off to the side... more

Stayed here recently and always try to when visiting Madrid. Location is excellent - 5 mins walk from Bernabeu (stadium and metro)but set in a quiet area with local shops and cafes to hand. The hotel staff are efficient and friendly. Rate including breakfast was Euro 5 more than just Room Only, which represented good value. Of course if you... more
